MOVIE REVIEW: DOLORES CLAIBORNE * 1/2 (1 and a half stars out of 4).
External link:
I recently rented this (See my July 31, 2002 blog entry on my Blockbuster experience), and I was disappointed. I'd heard good things about it, but I found the movie not very believable, even though I also found it very predictable. Also, it suffers from the all-too common fault of having the bad guy go silent when attacked, unable to think of a response. We all know, in real life, that no matter how clever we are, the person we're talking to will have a comeback, even if it's not a very good one. But here, Dolores's not-so-clever quips always seem to go unanswered. Likewise, her daughter's arguments at the end of the movie, are unanswered. Though, they are hardly unanswerable. There are some very clever lines "Don't ask me for help; all my money's tied up in cash" was my favorite, and Dolores does have a few zingers. But it's long and a little slow, and not very plausible.
